Avignon Book Brocante Fair

A book sale at the heart of Avignon

The Avignon Book Brocante Fair is a unique event on the Vaucluse calendar. Unlike general brocantes, it focuses exclusively on books, CDs and vinyl — with a single price that changes everything: €0.50 per item. This ultra-accessible format, now standard in several major French cities, turns a simple vide-grenier into a vast cultural democratisation operation.

An event for every budget

At €0.50 per book, anyone can build a library in a morning. Students, families, retirees, well-off or modest book lovers: everyone finds their niche.

A cultural and ecological commitment

Giving books a second life is doubly virtuous. Culturally, it lets works continue to circulate. Ecologically, it avoids waste: each year, millions of books are pulped for lack of storage or buyers.
